Chargers LB Uchenna Nwosu praises safety Kyzir White

The Chargers rookie minicamp wrapped up Sunday. All players who were in attendance were able to perform in front of the coaching staff for the first time. For two Bolts, linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and Kyzir White, they spent the event near each other’s side the entire time and were intrigued by the skillsets. Nwosu had some encouraging words in regards to White’s performance and the weekend overall.

“Kyzir did great. His explosiveness, and the way he’s transferred from safety and play this well, it’s impressive. We all learned a lot, and now we’re ready for the older guys to come in. We have to learn more because we have to be up on their level. So we have to learn as much as we can as quickly as we can, Nwosu said, per the Chargers official website.

The most significant weakness on the roster heading into the draft was at linebacker, where the team was thin. After adding Nwosu to play the OTTO, L.A. went with White to help at the WILL, which is currently being played by LB Jatavis Brown.

At 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, White possesses an NFL-ready body and the versatility to play multiple positions on the field. This skill-set has become increasingly valuable as of late as NFL defenses have begun to stray away from base defenses in favor of nickel and dime packages.
